By not playing Saturday’s volleyball match on Maui because of the tsunami warning will cost UH about $7,000 in non-recoupable expenses such as advertising, marketing and deposits, according to athletic director Jim Donovan. That figure does not include the expenses BYU will incur for staying an additional two nights in the islands.
